Author Description

Excerpt from The Minnesota Legislature of 1911 Second - The United States Steel Corporation whose selfish interest in state government consists largely in escaping the payment of mil lions in taxes and in continuing its opportunity to secure and exploit our mineral resources. Third - The transportation trust which preys upon the public through watered stock and extortionate, discriminative rates. Fourth - A long list of such corporations as the Twin City Rapid Transit Company, the Northwestern Telephone Company, the liability insurance companies and the employers of labor generally. I am not undertaking here to name them all or to designate the legislative axe each had to sharpen for the public, but only to suggest the existence and activity of a great diversity of special interests.
